Make sure you get a good soil and mix in some perlite. Make sure your soil is not too hot for seedlings or you'll start off with a problem. Read up on watering seedlings, overwatering is the main cause of seedling death. Get the right pot size for seedling and then have final pot for finishing. Do not go over the top on nutes, start on low doses and work up seeing the reaction of your plant each time, you see numerous posts on here from growers who mess their grow up by feeding too much nutes. Air ventilation should also be considered. And if and when you get to harvest wait until the plant has matured before chopping, it is worth the extra wait. Happy growing.

a little bit of dolomite in the soil never hurt either to keep the ph balanced. you can always add nutrients to the plants but if you burn them its permanent like nitrogen claw. you can tell the maturity by the trichomes but thats way down the road.

Another thing that should be mentioned and paid good detail to is a good dry and cure (when you want the BEST WEED).Alot of people dont do them right or skip the curing process because they dont want to wait a month,which is a shame.

Dolomite lime provides calcium and some magnesium. It also helps buffer the PH of your soil. Get the powdered not the pellets.
Also, look into adding epsom salt for extra magnesium. Try a search for super soil to learn more and about amounts to add.

5 lbs. of Blood meal 12-0-0
5 lbs. Bat guano 0-5-0
5 lbs. Fish Bone Meal 3-16-0
¾ cup Epsom salt
1 cup Sweet lime (Dolomite)
½ cup Azomite ( Trace element)
2 Tbs. powdered Humic acid
*** If using an RO system add in 1/2 cup powdered Cal/mag

In*horticulture, dolomite and dolomitic limestone are added to soils and soilless potting mixes as a pH buffer and as a magnesium source. Home and*container gardening*are common examples of this use. Thats the wiki explanation

tis the point of supersoil. you never put a plant in its pure form, well you can when a plant is vegged for a bit but not recommended. you can always top dress. And i forgot to add the fact of cooking it lol
